PIG3 is a downstream target gene regulated by p53 and is involved in the process of apoptosis by participating in the synthesis of reactive oxygen species and the regulation of oxidative stress.There is a tandem repeats sequence(TGYCC)n(Y=C or T)in PIG3 promoter,whose transcriptional regulation is closely associated with the pentanucleotide repeats.In this article,the role of(TGYCC)n tandem repeats sequence in the transcriptional regulation of PIG3 was reviewed,and the relationship between its polymorphisms and tumor susceptibility was discussed.
